Then Basil:
"I don't think that a director as sexist as Robert Altman would do a
Pynchon screenplay any good"
 
To which I have to say, after several investigations of TRP's sexual 
politics (pre- and post- his admissions to sexism in the Intro to _SL_), 
Basil is right: Altman wouldn't be sexist _enough_.
